SJÖGREN-LARSSON SYNDROME WITH EPIPHYSEAL METAPHYSEAL DYSPLASIA

Abstract
A 9 year old girl with the clinical findings of Sjögren-Larsson syndrome (mental retardation, short stature, spasticity, and congenital ichthyosis) was found to have a mild epiphyseal and metaphyseal dysplasia. Retarded bone maturation, increased interpediculate distance in the lower spine, and significant widening of the pubic symphysis were also present. A specific epiphyseal and metaphyseal dysplasia has not been previously illustrated in this condition, and the incidence of such in these patients is not now known.
